According to experts the wooden window in combination with an appropriate glass package is the best solution for energy saving. The measuring and tests of wooden profiles with different thickness and size have demonstrated the lowest coefficients of heat conducting in comparison to the PVC and aluminum profiles. The European standard for measuring the heat conductivity of windows is accepted in Bulgaria in 2006. It is called БДС EN ISO 10077-1:2006. The advantages of the wooden window in respect to its energy saving qualities are thoroughly described in it. The wooden profile allows for the window to reach the lowest indices of heat conduction К = 1.1 W/m2К when wooden frame is combined with a K glass.
However, the advantages of wooden windows are not limited to energy saving. The answer of the question “Why should we choose a wooden window” may be represented as a list of pluses which would add confidence to our choice:
- Quality:The choice of a wooden window is a practical choice. It guarantees energy saving : warmth in winter and comfort in summer. It is important to notice that wooden frame prevents the accumulation of moisture in the accommodation and thus stops the growth of mould on the walls.
- Durability in time: Modern timber profiles process various types of technical treatment. Timbers are dried in computer guided industrial driers. The profiles are repeatedly tested for strain, strength and exposure to artificially conducted bad environment: moisture, high temperature amplitudes, dust and others. The finishing cover of the wooden window is a layer of high quality pains and varnish with UV filters which protect the timber from moisture and sunlight and thus significantly prolong the life of a wooden window.
- Functionality:Modern technologies allow the construction of windows in almost all possible shapes – from the common rectangular shape to sophisticated arch and acute-angled constructions. Only the wooden frame from all possible window frames in constructively strong enough to hold large glazed spaces: large glazing of window shops, large sliding mechanisms up to 14 meters in length. The wooden framed glass sliding door is the perfect entrance to your porch, piazza or directly to your garden.
- Aesthetics:No other material can resemble the texture, the beauty of natural wood and the infinitive possibilities for combining it with the overall vision of the interior and exterior. Modern wooden windows are not just pretty; they allow you to put into practice your ideas in the field of interior design. Only wooden windows can be painted exactly in the colour of you choice. The also allow double colouring – inside to match the interior and outside top match the facade of the building. Only wooden windows can resemble ancient architecture styles and combine it the most recent technologies. In time the beauty of the wooden frame does not vanish, many owner would order an artificial aging for their windows to add more aesthetics to the looks of their windows.
- Safety and healthiness: Wooden windows are recognized for being manufactured by the most ecologically unadulterated material – wood. Wood does not emanate any contaminators. Unlike artificial materials wood is ecologically friendly and protects its owners from allergies and diseases. The modern wooden frame is specially polished to endure fire. It hardly ignites and unlike plastic profiles it does not produce asphyxiating gases.
